As he flew his attention focused itself on the changes that had taken root inside of him during his transformative process, beyond the Lighting Physique acquisition.
After all during the process he focused on some notifications that passed but also ignored some others so he was rather curious to know exactly what changed and he worded it like that to the Records who answered with a list:
[Change from the Perfected Thunder Vein Dew Absorption:
Acquisition of Common Type Talent, Thunder Affinity Level 5, → Prodigious Thunder Affinity Level 4
Acquisition of Unique Talent, Myriad Lightning Convergence Physique → Myriad Lightning Convergence Physique +++
Evolution of Prodigious Cultivation Aptitude Level 5 → Heavenly Cultivation Aptitude Level 1
Evolution of Common Type Talent, Energy Efficiency Talent Level 5 → Prodigious Energy Efficiency Talent Level 3
Evolution of Rare Type Talent, Energy Master Talent Level 5 → Prodigious Energy Master Talent Level 2
Evolution of Rare Type Talent, Arcane Elementalism Talent Level 5 → Prodigious Arcane Elementalism Talent Level 1
Evolution of Rare Type Talent, Prodigious Fluid Motion Talent Level 1 → Prodigious Fluid Motion Talent Level 2
Evolution of Rare Type Talent, Prodigious Vital Vessel Talent Level 1 → Prodigious Vital Vessel Talent Level 3
Evolution of Unique Type Talent, Prodigious Evolution Talent Level 3 → Prodigious Evolution Talent Level 4
Pure Foundation Drastically Enhanced from the previous 60% higher in Qi Quality and Qi Quantity to the current 268% stronger in Qi Quality and Qi Quantity while staying at the 1st layer of the Spiritual Foundation Realm.
Insights related to Foundation gained, allowing to more easily enhance one Pure Fondation, if previously after 6 months of training Mikael Angelini Pure Foundation reached 60%, in the same amount of time, efforts and resources now his Pure Foundation would reach 85-88%]
[Myriad Lightning Convergence Physique +++
Brief Description: A body that attracts all types of lightning, fusing them within.
Description: A Special Lighting Physique who induces a total transformation of one's own Qi into a Special Lightning Qi, the physical form follows and also evolves toward a more lightning adapted form.
The soul and the mind aren't left behind and also evolve toward a new more powerful form who became more attenuated to lightning but the evolution is rather minimal.
At the same time the possessor of this Physique became the bearer of all which is lightning.
If Interested in seeing a longer and more detailed description follow below:
…
Effects:
Immense Thunder affinity +++(Grant the Thunder Affinity Talent and also enhance it allowing him to give out result that are stronger than what this level of talent would suggest)
Exceptional Cultivation Aptitude +++(Enhance one Cultivation Aptitude while also making it so one Cultivation Talent is stronger than the level of one Cultivation Aptitude would suggest)
Extraordinary Resistance to all who is related to Lighting +++(Thunder, Lighting, Storm would be far far less damaging to Mikael Angelini)
Able to absorb, merge, fusion and evolve all lighting +++]
[This Myriad Lightning Convergence Physique +++ drastically superior version compared to the original Physique with all of its effects consequently enhanced.]
[Mikael Angelini's decision of upgrading the Thunder Vein Dew to create the Perfected Thunder Vein Dew was excellent and drastically amplified his gains in category.]
[If not for this initiative, the gains would have been far less on all sides, with the most affected one would have been the Physique which at best would have been the Myriad Lightning Convergence Physique and possibly not even that.]
[Similar intelligent endeavours are welcomed and encouraged by the Records.]
Swish, Howl.
The wind howled in Mikael ears as he cut through the sky as he took everything in with interest.
He especially paid attention to the If Interested in seeing a longer and more detailed description follow below: section and read the thousands of words that were them allowing him to get a better idea of his Physique and what he discovered…
Smirk.
His lips curled up, 'The Records know far more than what was in the Scripture Pavillion but this is normal, after all how can the Wandering Sword Sect compare to the near omnipotent Records?'
'This should be some of my privilege as a Probationary Chosen One, shining through because this information…'
In a short moment he reread the same section a second time to make sure he missed nothing, 'While not overturning my understanding of the Physique I was aiming to get from my Heavenly Wonder absorption endeavor, although—'
He gently shook his head, 'I wasn't aiming for an enhanced version but…I certainly won't say no! Anyways, the thing is that with this information developing my new Physique would be easier and should speed up my "adaptation period"'
On that thought and with new 'training ideas' swimming through his mind, Mikael made his way back to his Sect, deeply satisfied with all of the gains he made from this short but dangerous expedition.
Stop.
Mikael suddenly stopped as the Wandering Sword Sect entered his sight.
At that moment he knew he was back home, far more talented that he was not long ago and—
Zap–Kracckkk!!
Purple lighting crackled through his eyes, making him look like a Thunder God.
Far more dangerous!
***
Liiing… luuum… liiing…
Soft, soothing and delicate sounds resounded as a beautiful melody coming from an harp sounded in the lightened up living room.
The ray of the sun falling on the blue haired yandere beauty as her slender fingers plucked her harp while her intense blue eyes were looking at someone not far from her.
In her eyes a love so intense that it could drown the world was delving as she gave him a 'gentle' smile, at least it was gentle in her mind but in truth…
It looked more horrifying than loving as her smile was disturbingly wide, giving her a slightly unhinged and crazy beauty.
"Hum…humm"
Soft humming sound resounded as an extremely handsome Mikael was slightly bobbing his head while humming in rhythm while he gently eyed the yandere beauty, in particular her beautiful smile that he found particularly cute…
Diiing…luuum… liiing…liin…
Kiara beautiful melody continued to resound in this peaceful ambiance before the beauty softly spoke while continuing to play, "Darling~ I was thinking~"
Mikael raised an eyebrow in inquisition as the beauty continued, "Why don't you 'help me'?" as she said so her dainty finger trailed the length of her harps while occasionally plucking a string.
"Help…" his gaze trailed her harp and a light of understanding mixed with confusion appeared in his changed eyes, "...you?"
Ding…luumm..lin-ling.
Kiara gave a gentle nod, "In all the years we knew and LOVE" an obsessive glint appeared in her eyes at the word love as she took a small pause before continuing, "each other, you never played of my harp what do you say of reliving my poor fingers of the hard task which is playing of my harp~?"
Blink, blink.
Mikael blinked two times as the confusion disappeared, replaced by understanding, "When you put it like that…"
He got up from his sitting position and rapidly closed the distance separating them until they were just beside each other as he softly whispered, "...I can't exactly refuse, can I?"
"Darling~" Kiara's answer was her favorite word.
Thud.
Mikael took a seat just beside Kiara as he lovingly placed an arm around her shoulder as he found this situation to be rather…amusing, "So~ how does this work exactly? I am rather clueless on this…"
Clink… ping.
Kiara placed the small harp on his lap, her smile widening as her hands wrapped themselves around his own, guiding his fingers toward the strings, "Like this, darling… it's less about force, more about touch. Let the strings answer to you."
'Way to talk and say nothing…' thought Mikael as he inwardly rolled his eyes but he let himself by guided by his yandere lover
Tiiing… pling…
The harp gave a trembling note as his unsteady fingers brushed across, but Kiara only chuckled softly, leaning closer until her cheek nearly brushed his. "Mmm, see? Not bad at all. Even if you sound like a baby bird trying to sing."
Mikael huffed a laugh, tilting his head to murmur against her ear, "You're enjoying this far too much."
"Of course," she whispered back with mock seriousness, her voice dripping with warmth, "after all, what greater joy than teaching my darling how to play… me~?"
Mikael's emerald-mixed-with-purple eyes met the intense dark blue ones of Kiara, and for a moment both remained still, losing themselves in the other's gaze.
Rustle.
Mikael's arm, which had been resting around her shoulder, slid downward, his hand coming to rest just above her bubble butt as he huskily murmured, "Are you sure you want to tease me~"
Squeeze.
He possessively gripped her peachy ass, drawing a small moan from the beauty as a faint blush colored her face before he continued, "Or…"
His hand trailed upward, tracing the line of her spine in a slow ascent until his arm returned to its original position around her shoulder, pulling her close in an intimate embrace. "...do you prefer to play the harp?" he asked with a teasing smile upon his visage.
"Ahhhh… ahhhhh." Kiara's labored breathing was her answer as she gazed at her beloved darling~
The flame of lust ignited in her beautiful dark blue orbs, and in that instant she truly wanted to jump on her darling, right here, right now!
But—
Her attention fixed on the harp resting in her beloved's lap, 'No… Kiara, you can't do that! There will always be time to have sex later, this moment is far more precious!'
Her gaze lifted to Mikael's visage, his teasing smile coupled with that unreal handsomeness—
'Gah, darling is really unfair~' the thought slipped through her mind as she nearly forgot her resolve and let lust consume her, but she forced herself to endure.
'I can't waste it like that! This is a moment alone with just the two of us, and I can even share my passion with my darling~! What could be more precious than that!?' her heart burned with determination as the thought rang within her.
"Mouh, darling is being really unfair~ giving choices like that… but let's focus on the music~" she cutely declared, acting all cute as she voiced her 'grievance' aloud.
"Sure I am~ but I wonder, who was the first to tease the other, I wonder?" he pondered aloud in 'confusion.'
A 'confusion' that didn't last long, for before the yandere beauty could respond, he shifted his attention toward the harp and asked, "So beyond plucking the strings randomly, how does it work?"
Instantly, Kiara forgot her 'grievances' as the topic returned to something she particularly liked.
With enthusiasm in her voice, she explained, "The sound produced, along with its quality, tone, rhythm, and more, varies immensely and is affected by numerous factors, but the most basic one is which type of string you play."
"Type of string?"
Kiara nodded before her dainty finger plucked one of the shorter, thinner strings near the top of the harp.
Tiing…
"This is what we call a high note, and as you can hear, the sound is light and delicate, while the low note—
Dwooomm…
She played one of the longer, thicker strings near the base of the harp, "...produces a much heavier and stronger sound."
"I see…" murmured Mikael as he began to play the strings.
Tiing… tiing… dwwoom… liing… thuumm.
Mikael plucked the strings at random, yet the distinction Kiara had spoken of revealed itself almost instantly, the sharp lightness of the higher notes and the heavy resonance of the lower ones clearly hearable.
Smile.
As Mikael played her harp, Kiara silently watched from the side, a fond smile curving her lips. "If you want to get a better melody, try linking your notes like—"
Tiii–liing–dddinng–siing–lliing…
"...that, it's for the best!" she explained as she played the harp resting in Mikael's lap, her smile lingering as she savored the moment, for spending time with her darling while sharing her passion…
It was what she loved most, a perfect union of her greatest joy with her second favorite things entwined together.
Her happiness shone all the brighter, resplendising and illuminating the room.
"And if you want, you can do this…"
"And this high note, combined with this low note…"
"Kiara, how am I supposed to play that?"
"Ohh, that? It's simple, you just need to use two fingers at the same time while…"
Their voices resounded through the room, Mikael fumbling with mistakes as he learned to play the harp, while Kiara took joy in guiding him, cherishing this moment where she could share the passion she had carried from her past life.

A few words from me below.
———
For the end when we saw Mikael 'gains' so to say of the Thunder Vein Dew acquisition I tried to summarize it in a short part(don't know if I succeeded? At least I tried to not put the entire status window and only the relevant part).
At the same time we have the latter half of the chapter that goes in the slice of life side of things(the chapter, particularly to the end should be of a lower quality as I didn't have the time to do the editing, I was short on time so sorry about that!)
